The Native Hawaiian Library Project will present several exciting programs during July. The Holomua Resource Van will visit Kahuku Public and School Library on July 2 at 6 p.m. as part of the state-wide series of quilt pattern tracing workshops organized with the Bishop Museum. Copies of 55 quilt patterns donated to Bishop Museum by the family of master quilter Hannah Baker will be available for tracing. Interested quilters should bring their own tracing paper for the 72" X 42" patterns. NHLP will provide the #1 pencils. Books on quilting will be available for borrowing with a Hawaii State Public Library card. The Ohina Mo'olelo Maika'i lecture series will present three programs in July: Sonny Kinney will talk about ho'oponopono at the Anahola Community Center on Kaua'i on July 10 at 6 p.m.; Dane Silva will do a lomilomi program at the Moloka'i Public Library on July 17 at 6 p.m.; and the Rev. David Kaalakea will talk about Hawaiian herbal medicine at the Moloka'i Public Library on July 24 at 6 p.m. The Kaho'olawe Traveling Library Exhibit will be on display at the Waimanalo Public and School Library until July 29 and continue on to the Kahuku Public and School Library. A second traveling library exhibit entitled "Surfing in Ancient Times" is being shown at the McCullyMoiliili Public Library through July 27 and then rolls into Manoa Public Library. Parent-child reading workshops are scheduled at Kamehameha Traveling Preschool sites in Kekaha, Kaua'i on July 17 at 9 a.m.; in Waimea, Kaua'i on July 18 at 9 a.m. ; and in Hilo on July 29 and 30 at the Lanikila Recreation Center and at Kuhio Chapel respectively at 9 a.m. Outreach librarian Pat Louis will visit these sites to encourage parents to read to their children, and to show them a demonstration of favorite books.

Louis will also be silk-screening T-shirts parents bring in or posters with our "E Heluhelu Mai - Read to Me" design of a Hawaiian woman reading to her child. The Books-By-Mail Project also schedules monthly visits with kupuna of the Alu Like Ke Ola Pono No Na Kupuna Program at the Seventh Day Adventist Church Hall in Waimanalo. This project involves taking Hawaiian books and videos to share with kupuna and setting up special programs.
